when they looked at the polling in 2008 about health care when the president was running for election the first time, it was clearly defined for voters or especially swing voters as an economic issue. this is not separate from pocketbook issues, this is right on point. that's why given where we are at with a still struggling economy for many people, health care does fit into these pocketbook issues. when republicans talk about you've got your free choice of doctors, for most people there isn't an actual free choice, because the cost of going to any doctor, any hospital you want is prohibitive. those are those out of network costs that make it very, very difficult for anyone to support this free choice that supposedly is part of this system. so people understand that very well. what they don't understand is what the president is proposing and how these costs will come down if they take part in these exchanges or the coverage they get will be better through their employer. >> has the democratic side been outmaneuvered on this, outmarketed on this so far, rick? >> well, they labor under

you know, if we're going to say no to no in the next election, the american people want progress on these issues. when you have the united states senate on a bipartisan basis enacting these laws and you have a house republican leadership that is so obsessed with ambushing the affordable care act that they won't even bring these things up for a vote, that is a massive problem. >> so do you think, congressman, nothing is going to get done in the next two weeks? do you think that the possibility exists that something will happen? >> look, there is no reason not to. now, i am hopeful, i have been on the lead at renewing, extending the undetectable firearms act because it's not a good idea to allow the bad guys to sneak plastic guns through metal detectors at airports. i am hopeful that we'll be able to do at least that but there is so much more the american people want done. comprehensive immigration reform, a farm bill, the employment nondiscrimination act. we can pass these things because the senate already did. house republicans need to get their act together and work to pass these things
